The Chairman of the Committee on labor Yaroslav Nilov (LDPR) opposed the Soviet names-abbreviations.
“This name, such as Vladlen, taking into account new information from the drop-down archives, is a serious psychological blow not only to the bearer of such a name, but for his family, given what the relevance of Lenin today formed or formed in the younger generation?”, – the Deputy was indignant.
United Russia Deputy from Tatarstan Airat Farrakhov informed that the names that fit the category abbreviations are very common in Tatarstan, and called for the deletion from the bill this provision. The author of the bill Petrenko said that the second reading will take into account all comments.
The MP from the liberal democratic party Vitali Pashin asked how exactly the law will not allow parents to give their children “weird” names Dolphin or Lucifer, if we are talking only about the prohibition to use the names of numbers and abbreviations.
“I do not agree. The fact that the enumeration in the names of ranks and positions, names with letters and numbers growing. A Dolphin is a Dolphin, it’s still not a name,” replied Senator Smith.
The leader of fraction of LDPR Vladimir Zhirinovsky has explained the problem of “strange” names with marriages.
“The majority of marriages are not for love, but for money. If love is between husband and wife, went, called and forgotten,” he said, complaining that in kindergarten he teased, “Zhirin-Purin-Passagieren”.
